Re: [expert] Configure your own JRE for Netscape?
Before you blame Netscape 100% consider my latest experiences, but first a little background. Because M$ engineers fouled W98 to cause Netscape browser users serious security issues, I chose to use Netscape 3.04. Odd as it sounds I can see properly written Java, JS, and Frames without difficulty, but I normally do not enable Java. Even with Java turned off I do not have problems with pages written properly. I stress proper code because..ever since the coming of Front Page and what looks to me like odd and bloated code my browser crashes hard at every single site. Not one or two sites but every single FP site. Often this happens before the page loads and before I get a chance to look at the code. This naturally makes me suspicious as to whether or not Linux-Netscape is victim to the same problem? Don't forget who killed Dr.Dos and the IBM pc because he was afraid of the *American Way*: COMPETITION!

RE: [expert] {EXPERT} Kppp/dial on demand
No you don't.
Read the PPP how-to for ppp 2.2 and 2.3.
I have the following options in my ppp configuration: demand idle 300
This causes ppp to auto-dial when needed and disconnect on idle time of 5
minutes.
Diald has not been needed for many months.
You'll still need to "start" pppd when your system starts, but it will
actually only dial the phone when a connection to the net is needed.

Hello, I'm using a Logitech trackman marble with the scroll wheel in the center and I just can't seem to get that thing working! I know that it will work, but I just don't seem to understand the docs, maybe too much coffee?!? If there's anyone else using Mandrake 7.0-2 with this pointing device, could you please walk me through the set up? When I installed Mandrake, by default the generic PS/2 driver was selected. I went to XF86Setup and deselected 'emulate 3 button mouse' and I've also tried typing 'imwheel' in eterm but that doesn't seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[expert] Fax Viewing Program?
Receiving and sending faxes is a big part of my life, but so far I only need to receive them while I'm running Linux instead of Windows (software that generates documents to fax only available in Windows). I've got a good arrangement for receiving with mgetty to get them and ledcontrol to let me know when they've arrived. But I really need something better for viewing. I've been using kfax, but it only will load one page at a time. I often get faxes as long as 10 pages long which I need to be able to print. Is there a program that will display and print multi-page receptions? -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

Re: [expert] accessing floppy and cdrom?
Thanks again Civileme for answering my messages, I hope my mailer does better this time around. I have a pretty generic setup hardware wise I believe. It's a six month old Hewlett Packard Pavilion 6540C, Intel Celeron 466Mhz. All onboard junk video/audio/modem I junked the modem in favor of a external USR model which worked flawlessly in MDK 6.1 I need to read my floppy which has the RPMS to drive my on board video (i810 based) it all worked in the 6.1 version. I used the "recommended" install, Lothar entered a bogus "scuzzy" device for an alternate CD-ROM (two on the list). I can spin the floppy with a manual mount command but nothing shows on the /mnt/floppy directory? I'm still using VGA16 which won't let me see all the options in the config GUI displays.

Re: [expert] multi-processor system support in Linux
There's an "smp" (multi-processer) kernel right on the 7.0 distribution disk, that you should have been able to select at install. (Per civilme it should have been the automatic default.) Are you sure it's not already running?

Re: [expert] Linux and DVD and Supermount
I have a copy of decss. Actually, injunction or no, I doubt it's that hard to find if you search, but if anybody is having trouble let me know and I'll mail it to you and/or post it temporarily on my web site. (I've never used it, mind you; I downloaded it as more of a political statement than anything else -- I don't have have a DVD drive.)

Re: [expert] Latest LICQ (Need-Tips)
Hi, > I still can't get licq-0.80 to work! arrrg! Does it need qt2.1 ? if not, I'd stick with qt2, or more exactly the mandrake qt2 and qt2-devel packages. > Then I downloaded tha latest tar and try to compile it myself... > ./configure goes all the way... no problem, than make or make install > ccomplains about missing qt library (?) Here's how I got kVirc to compile using the qt2 and qt2-devel rpm's from mandrake (on Mandrake 7.0), after previously encountering similar problems as you did with licq: - create a /usr/lib/qt2 directory - put a Link *named* libqt.so there, which points to /usr/lib/libqt.so.2 - run the configure script with --with-qt-moc=/usr/bin/moc2 --with-qt-library-dir=/usr/lib/qt2 > so what is left to try... ANY hint in the right direction is Greatly > appreciated! I hope this helps in some way... cya, Volker

Re: [expert] kde2 rpms on contrib disk.
No, they will not upgrade from the previous version. further more trying to install kde2 while it is still in development is not for the faint of heart. If you do succeed and kde2 does load when you boot you will see that a lot of things still do not work...

Re: [expert] Linux and DVD and Supermount
Vince, I have a Pioneer DVD and it hasn't caused any problems. For all intents and purposes Linux will see it as a CDROM drive. Livid is about the only DVD software available at the mo, mainly because of a court battle or some such nonsense. SOmeone doesn't think DVD software should be free... As for using Livid, I am not yet comfortable patching my kernel to use it, so someone else had better answer this...
